Looking forward to watching real world reviews of this new computer and monitor.  Yes it may seem expensive, but when you think that it's possible to get 10 years out of a computer this powerful and this monitor will certainly not be obsolete any time soon - is it really that expensive over time ?   Instead of buying 2 or 3 high end desktops\laptops in 10 years - just buy this... 

I think it all depends on what you're doing. I doubt any serious professional (company) is gonna buy one and expect it to last 10yrs. For most companies the standard length they keep a computer around (Mac or PC) is 3yrs before its considered EOL (End of Life). That doesn't mean its useless, its just a standard some companies go by. 

I could be living in a totally different world, but I've seen companies (and myself!) hold onto the same computers for 10 years. My current laptop is 6 years old and still good as new, running Mojave. And do you remember the XP years? Windows XP lasted 10 years, and people ran it on the same hardware that whole time. So the three-year timespan is questionable in my mind, and I think the Mac Pro has 10 years in it, easy. It's a real workhorse.

I’ve worked American enterprise as a contractor for almost 20 years, none of the many companies I’ve worked for had us using machines older than a few years. My personal computer at home, yes (last iMac went 8 years), but never corporate machines.

I just want the XDR to go with my 16-inch MBP.

Or maybe I'll just stick with the LG 5K.

16 year old boys crash cars more often.

Where’s the stat that says women are worse at paying off credit cards?

Women have more debt than men, including student loan debt, auto loans, credit card debt and medical debt, therefore it makes perfect sense that this group of borrowers would have lower scores than another group (men) that has lower debt across the board.

Women currently owe more than men in a number of key categories, including the following:

Credit worthiness should be judged on numbers alone and if a woman's numbers suck, then they shouldn't complain about it because fair is fair and people must face the consequences for all of their decisions and habits. 

If the fact they can be paid less for the same job in the USA and that's the explanation for their larger debt that's easily fixed, it is the 21st Century, even in the USA.  That said blaming or invesigating Apple is totally absurd when it is the Bank behind this.

The “pay gap” is not true. It has been debunked numerous times.

Yes you are right and the world really is flat.

Supposedly there is a stat that charges more interest for some females than males, and Congress gets involved because that's discriminatory.  Meanwhile since the invention of auto insurance 16 year old boys are charged more than 16 year old girls because stats show there is a reason...and that's acceptable.   

Yeah?

Here you go:

1) Surveys != Stats. Having women say one thing and men say another is not fact.

2) Having to rely on credit doesn’t mean you’re worse at paying them off. It means you’re a better profit center for the lenders.
